MHG Literature References to Humidification Applications

The ProUmid MHG humidity generators are used world-wide in hundreds of analytical applications around the world to generate an environment controlled relative humidity that enables representative, reliable and reproducible measurement results. Here you will find a selection of references in which the MHGs were used together with analytical instruments and measuring systems for measurements with precisely controlled humidity.

    Step 1: Select temperature range

    Step 2: Select additional sensors

    Step 3: Select additional measurement methods

    Step 4: Select instrument by sample size, sample sorption capacity or the type of application.

    If you can tell us about the samples you want to analyze, the available sample quantity, the sample hygroscopicity or your area of application, we can give you a recommendation for the device that meets your requirements best.

    Step 5: What is the average sample quantity available and/or how hygroscopic are the samples?

    Tiny: <10mg, very low hygroscopicity
    Small: >10mg, low hygroscopity
    Medium: >100mg, moderate hygroscopicity
    Large: >500mg, abundant hygroscopicity

    Step 5: Which field of application is most likely to apply to your samples?

    A: Pharmaceutical pre-formulation
    B: Pharma, Food, Fine Chemicals, Cosmetics, Material characterization, Polymers, Electronics, Fibres, Paper, Wood Analytics, Textiles
    C: Building Materials (concrete, wood, insulation), Fertilizer, Permeability and Packaging testing

    Recommended Instrument(s):

    Additonal sample trays such as the Permeability kit and the requirement for tiny samples do not match. Try to deselect the additonal sample tray or to increase the sample size.

    Additonal sample trays such as the Permeability kit and the application pharmaceutical pre-formulation do not match. Try dp deselect the additonal sample tray or to select a different field of application.
